EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment in time at the corner of the Strand and the Aldwych in London, showcasing Inveresk House on the left. Formerly known as Borthwick House, this building once housed the offices of the Morning Post before becoming the headquarters of Britain's chief illustrated papers in 1928.
In 1937, Inveresk House was home to what was known as the Great Eight - a collection of prestigious publications including The Illustrated London News, The Graphic, The Sphere, The Sketch, The Bystander, The Tatler, Eve, and the Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News. These publications were at the forefront of communications during that era.
The architecture of Inveresk House is striking against the backdrop of bustling city life in Westminster. As you gaze upon this image from decades past, you can almost feel yourself transported back to a time when print media reigned supreme and these illustrious publications were essential reading for those seeking news and entertainment.
This photograph not only captures a specific moment in history but also serves as a reminder of how communication has evolved over time. It is a window into an era when newspapers and magazines held significant influence over public opinion and provided a glimpse into society's cultural landscape.
